Hiring freezes are often dictated company wide to keep shareholders
happy. This does have the side effect of preventing departments or
devisions that _really_ need to hire people from doing this and can
stifle that department. I remember my dad telling me about one of his
departments that really needed to hire some technicians, but there was
a company wide hiring freeze, they could show that without these people
they were missing out on millions of dollars of potential work, took the
months to get it sorted out.
